To: DIVOFFICERS@LISTS.APA.ORG

The APA Board of Directors has released a statement on the DSM-5 development process.  This statement builds upon earlier communications and calls for a science-based process and one that avoids the problem of over or misidentification of individuals as being in need of treatment in ways that could lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions.
